Years of conversation fill a ton of digital pages, and we've kept all of it accessible to browse or copy over. Whether you're looking for reveal articles for older champions, or the first time that Rammus rolled into an "OK" thread, or anything in between, you can find it here. When you're finished, check out the boards to join in the latest League of Legends discussions.

Rammus is worse honestly. Pretty rare when the combined 6 bans don't hit yorick kass poppy shaco rammus unless you got tards banning akali and jax. I still feel akali and jax are very strong and would be ban worthy if not for the other mentioned champs.

The way to correctly play Rammus is to...not backdoor. It's really that simple.

99.999995% Rammus players backdoor because of how quickly they move out of their respawn point. They get to the middle of the map, all alone, their slowpoke teammates are still catching up, and they get an itching tendency to think "Huh, what should I do now?" And the first thing that pops in their mind: "Backdoor!!!"

If they just simply stop and wait for 3 seconds, allowing their team to catch up, Rammus players might actually make themselves useful. They don't seem to realize the assets they have as a teamfighter: a 3 second "stun", immortality for 6 seconds, and most importantly, a reliable initiation. It's not rocket science. That is a kit ready to dominate 4 v 4's...not to backdoor like an idiot.

Rammus BDing isn't even the problem. It's just that he can be at any fight top or bottom in a few seconds with that assist bounce + taunt. Rammus is also probably the best bottom ganker in the game since it really doesn't force him to go out of his way.

Poppy definitely needs to be banned. Someone should calculate how many thousands of free gold worth of items she gets because of her passive.

The thing is that Poppy is generally weak against tanky dps (as in, she can't burst them down during her ult and then she can get focused). Certain champs she destroys but she's pretty meh if you have a tanky team.

Poppy just does what all assassins normally do, but really, REALLY fast. It's literally 1-2-dead for squishies. Full HP bar goes to zero in 2 seconds. That's why Poppy has the illusion of being unstoppable. However, it only works against squishies...it's a typical assassin dilemma.

Poppy is no different than a Talon or Leblanc, really. If you think Poppy is ban-worthy, why not ban Talon?
